2D Shapes: Vocabulary Quiz for English Class

In this Vocabulary Quiz on the whiteboard, children practice English words for shapes such as square, kite, hexagon, or crescent. In the first quiz, after a short thinking time, the teacher counts down from three. When they reach zero, all the children hold up their answer card A, B, C, or D at the same time, and the correct answer is then revealed together.

Included in the material

• Instruction slide explaining how the quiz works
• Answer cards with the letters A, B, C, and D to print out
• Quiz 1 with 20 questions, each presenting four English words to choose from for a given shape, followed by a slide revealing the correct answer
• Quiz 2 with 20 “What is that?” questions, each showing one of the 20 shapes and then revealing its English name

Tips for using the material

Instead of playing individually, the children can also play the quiz in teams of two.

The following skills are developed

• Vocabulary: recognizing and matching the English names of 20 shapes, from circle and square to parallelogram and trapezoid
• Reading, as Quiz 1 requires choosing the correct word from four written English words
